China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 341 I promote their movie, why should I ask for compensation? (Subscribe!)

Because of the huge popularity of "Love Is Magic", Paul Anderson, the director of "Resident Evil 5", wants to take advantage of this opportunity and advance the release date of the movie.

Especially the release schedule in China, but China Film Group told him that this year's quota for imported films has been fully booked, and if "Resident Evil 5" wants to be released in China, it will have to wait until next year.

However, if we really have to wait until next year, it might be too late. Although Director Paul did not know this old Chinese saying, he was clear about it, so he called Chen Dong. He had no other intention but to ask him for help.

"Honey, who's calling?"

"Director Paul Anderson, what do you think he called me for?"

"Could it be related to Resident Evil 5?"

"Yes."

Chen Dong did not keep his wife in suspense and said bluntly: "Director Paul wants to release "Resident Evil 5" worldwide in September, but China has run out of imported film quotas this year..."

"So Director Paul wants to ask you, your husband, for help?" Liu Yifei said the second half of Chen Dong's sentence first.

"My wife is smart."

Faced with the praise, Liu Yifei pouted in anger and then raised a question: "But can you help me with this?"

"I'm not underestimating your husband." But then Chen Dong added, "But whether it can be successful or not depends on Director Paul himself."

"why?"

Looking at his puzzled wife, Chen Dong smiled and said, "I don't owe Paul anything. The reason I agreed to help him pass on a message to China Film was because he invited you to star in Resident Evil 5. You can't ask me to use up a favor to help him get a quota for an imported film, right?"

Liu Yifei nodded, not quite understanding, and asked after a while, "So what do you like, husband?"

Chen Dong smiled mysteriously at his wife: "Resident Evil 6."

……

China Film, Chairman's Office.

Chen Dong didn't expect that when he came to find Han Shanping, he would actually run into the next chairman, La Peikang, at the door.

"Hey, Director Chen, are you here to see Director Han?"

"Director Chen, let me introduce you to La Peikang, the vice chairman of China Film Group, who will be able to shoulder important responsibilities in the future."

"Hello, Mr. La, please take care of me in the future."

"Director Chen, I don't need your care. It's you, the great director, who should take care of my work. Hahaha."

After La Peikang and Chen Dong briefly greeted each other, he did not forget to pick up what Han Shanping said, which roughly meant that Mr. Han was experienced and there was still a lot to learn from you in the future.

In fact, La Peikang was also curious about Chen Dong's purpose in visiting Han Shanping, but he did not mention a word.

As soon as he left, Han Shanping made it clear, "If nothing unexpected happens, this Mr. La will be the next chairman of China Film Group. Director Chen, you..."

Chen Dong heard what Han Shanping was going to say, but he didn't want to answer the question, so before Han Shanping finished speaking, he interrupted and asked, "Boss Han, are you planning to retire?"

As they were all smart people, Han Shanping naturally understood what Chen Dong meant. He chuckled twice and no longer mentioned what had just happened. Instead, he continued the conversation following Chen Dong's words.

"Yes, you should retire when you reach a certain age. It's better to enjoy your old age than to occupy a position and be scolded by young people."

"Boss Han, you are being disingenuous. You have made a lot of contributions to Chinese films over the years. How can young people scold you? They should show respect to you."

Chen Dong was completely trying to change his words, but Han Shanping was quite cooperative, pretending not to hear him, and continued, "Why aren't you cursing? Director Chen, you don't think I don't know that my nickname is Zuoshan Diao, do you?"

"Ahem, this is a compliment to you."

Seeing that Chen Dong could even say such shameless words, Han Shanping was so angry that he laughed.

"Praise me? Then why don't I give you this nickname?" "Mr. Han, have some tea to calm down." Chen Dong touched his nose and prepared to change the topic to a less embarrassing one.

"Ahem, Mr. Han, aren't you curious about why I came to see you this time?"

"What? Director Chen, have you finished writing your next script?"

When this was mentioned, Han Shanping's eyes brightened.

But Chen Dong shook his head.

"The play I directed and starred in was just finished two days ago. Even a donkey needs to rest for a while. How can it be so fast?"

Hearing this, Han Shanping said with a lack of interest: "So what exactly is it? Director Chen, don't hide it, just tell me directly."

"This is what happened..."

Chen Dong then relayed to the person in front of him how Director Paul was seeking his help.

After hearing this, Han Shanping pondered for two seconds, looked at Chen Dong and asked, "Does Director Chen have any investment in Resident Evil 5?"

"No."

"This is not easy to do. After all, as you know, the quota for imported films this year has been used up. If we want to force Resident Evil 5 in, one of the films will have to be kicked out."

"Well, I also know how difficult it is to do this, but if, I mean if, Director Paul is willing to take out a portion of the investment share of "Resident Evil 6"..."

Hearing Chen Dong's obvious hint, Han Shanping immediately sat up straight, slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Our predecessors have long told us that difficulties are meant to be overcome. By the way, Director Chen, what did you just say? How much investment share is Director Paul willing to give for Resident Evil 6?"

"Ahem, Mr. Han, I was talking about ifs, just as an example, this matter is still uncertain."

After saying that, Chen Dong saw Han Shanping's smile froze on his face.

Now that you have made up your mind, if you don't slip away now, when will you do it?

So Chen Dong just stood up, said a few polite words and prepared to leave.

However, before he left the office, Han Shanping stopped him and asked him seriously, "How confident are you, Director Chen?"

"I don't know, but the Chinese film market is getting bigger and bigger, and I guess Director Paul is not a conservative person."

"Well, if the deal goes through, we can even schedule Resident Evil 5 to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday."

Chen Dong complained about Han Shanping's flexible rules in his heart, nodded at him, and left China Film Studio.

After returning, Chen Dong did not contact Paul immediately, but planned to leave him alone for a day, making it seem that things were difficult, and then discuss the deal with him later.

Yes, that's right, this is a business.

At the same time, the recording date of "Extreme Challenge" has finally been set, with the first episode scheduled for August 8.

The reason for choosing this day was to accommodate Director Nolan and the main creators of "Batman..." who came with him, because they only arrived in Yanjing in the early morning of the 25th.

"Director Chen, how should we pay Director Nolan and his team?" Chen Xi has two identities in the variety show "Extreme Challenge", one is the supervisor and the other is the producer.

As a supervisor, she was very happy that her boss had invited such a luxurious lineup for the first episode, but as a producer, she was also worried about the extremely high pay of these guests.

"What pay? There is no pay."

"No pay?" Chen Xi was surprised at first, then happy. Of course, there was also some doubt.

"Yes, there is no remuneration. If we must count it as remuneration, then our free promotion of Batman..." is their remuneration.

Chen Dong’s explanation made Chen Xi suddenly enlightened, and he also felt that this should be the truth.
